They are not going to fix it. I bet they blame it on wear and tear...or that the owner did the scratch.

Yeah, they'll "look into it" until the cows come home, and then "look into it again" after the cows have died. Or their patent, "We have not received any other complaints about this matter."

I don't think there's even a remote chance that this is a warranty fix.

Yep, have a similar "ridge" on my steering wheel, exact same spot but only half as long and not as pronounced as in your picture.

I can tell you that I took my wife's Altima in and had them do all kinds of $hit under warranty. They did exactly as I asked. In short, her steering system was making a weird noise (whole steering column replaced under warranty), the black trim on the outside of the windows was coming off (replaced under warranty), and the side mirrors were not adjusting smoothly (replaced under warranty). I'm hoping I get a similar experience again.

Once you look closely, it's clear it's not a scratch and has deflection when pushed.

You must be a real charmer.

Hilarious! No, didn't need the Panda. I left him at the Starbucks on the corner in case things went south.
